Publication number: 20100078338Abstract: This invention is a billiard cue case which incorporates a two section detachable base which can be removed and separated so that it can be stowed in the front standard jump cue pocket for transport. The case also has interior tubes which are self centering and maintain the two piece billiard cue sticks in a vertical position suspended above the bottom of the case for long term storage with no lateral stress to avoid the possibility of warping. The interior of the case also features a plastic perforated container with silica gel desiccant pillows to eliminate atmospheric humidity from the case interior. The base is attached by a threaded stud which screws into a female threaded anchor in the bottom of the case. This allows the case stand in a vertical position at a right angle to the plane of the floor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2009Publication date: April 1, 2010Inventor: Carol Fae Ketel
